Capital One CEO Email Recon

So last Sunday I chatted online via secure chat with a rep on my account asking for a CLI.  I have had my Venture card for about 2 years and never had a CLI.  After getting my information he came back and said it was not approved.  Of course he was just doing his job so I saved the chat to a PDF and emailed it to the CEO explaining why I would not be renewing my card next year.  Was very pleasant about it just being honest why I would not pay their fee anymore.  That they are my only card with a AF and most of my other accounts have a higher CL.  I did receive a call from their Executive Office on Tuesday asking what kind of CL I was looking for.  I told him $25,000 would be more in line with my other cards but I would take something lower if it was reasonable.  He once again took my information and said I would hear back within 48 hours.  He called me back on Thursday letting me know they could double my CL to $15,000 and then would refund the AF ($59) I just paid a month ago.  Also somehow he was able to take the AF off my account all together so in the future I would never be charged an annual fee. 

 

Couldn't ask for more then that.  I am more then happy to take double miles on all purchases and not have to pay fees for it.  I won't be leaving Capital One anytime soon and they will remain my primary card for everyday purchases.  I appreciate the advice reading over the forums on sending an email.  I don't expect that kind of response.

Re: Capital One CEO Email Recon

Congrats nice increase

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Based on my experience, Cap One is willing to raise your CL to make it the 2rd lowest CC, instead of THE lowest.
